We've found two icons that we really love (attached). Here are some of the things we like about them:

* Bowl is gently worn, showing imperfection and age
* Darker texture on the inside of the bowl
* Warm metal texture on the outside of the bowl
* Bowl is clearly represented in 3D
* Lighting effects produce nice shadows and warm light
* Wooden striker is included, and we love its texture, shape, size, and placement. It is simple and understated while the bowl is grand.

There are some changes we'd like to make:

* We'd like overall detail added to the outside of the bowl (attached detail.jpg).
* We'd like the word "Awareness" written in pseudo-sanskrit, almost imperceptibly on the inside of the bowl (attached prakrta.ttf, futureproof_prakrta.jpg). Think of the engraving on the inside of the ring in Lord of the Rings – written in gold paint on the inside of the bowl, with a dim glimmer.
* We'd like one version of the icon without the wooden striker.
